Alrighty then. I sort of introduced myself in the forum, so I'll just copy/paste that here, and that'll be enough information about me, as a User. If you should require to know anything else about me, do ask. I'll answer.
I'm Xerdo. I live in Mexico. I'm 24 years old, and I enjoy literature, videogames, and anime, among other things (like J-Pop and sleeping a lot).
When I'm actually awake, I'm working at a japanese school as an assistant (mostly, communication and design. I'm not an expert at the language or anything, though I do understand it), or studying Online for a masters degree in Humanities / Literature. My major in college was Media Communication Science (pretty much sociology and the media, with lots of literature and theory along the way), but I also took many multimedia classes. My favourites were interactive media production and Editorial production.
One of my hobbies, ever since way back in the late 90s was to make wallpapers. Though I lack many crucial abilities and I mostly suck at it, I'm trying to get better. I'll be submitting (I hope), at least once a week, as long as I do get something of decent quality ready.
My most recent project (though nothing serious) is to make a series of wallpapers with "lyrics" of different songs that capture a moment or feeling from the anime they're from. I have made three of these, but only two I considered worthy of submission.
I'll also submit other artwork. I want, for example, to incorporate some 3D stuff into my work, but that'll come later.
My favourite anime is Cowboy Bebop, but I also love Macross Plus, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna, Agent Aika, Ebichu, Yakitate Japan and Kannazuki no Miko.
My favourite videogame is Breath of Fire V, but I must say I really love Ace Combat 4, Front Mission 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid. I'm also very keen on retrogaming, so I love Atari stuff. It gave our generation a serious advantage in conceptual and graphical abstraction.
So, anyway, to anyone reading this, greetings. If I can be of service in anything, do let me know.

Xerdo's Burn Up W Tv Review
I guess what can be endearing about the first two titles, and what fails
miserably in the third one is the style and presentation. The first two are a
sample of better times in anime, when it was colourful and extreme, full of
engrish and fanservice, but also when it was such a novel concept in this side
of the ocean. W and Excess have several in-jokes, very funny omake sections
(complete with "fake" television static), and pop culture references,
as well as references to other titles (from Robocop to Evangelion, to Tokimeki
Memorial, Hentai Gaming, and even to Segata Sanshiro CMs of the time).
This, taken with a quirky, over the top sense of humour, and lots of fan service
and mature jokes, just makes the story endearing.
